How Teeth Whitening Works

Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to noticeably enhance your smile in as little as one treatment. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the tooth enamel. Our Wichita teeth whitening is now only available in take-home systems. Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for You?

If you have ever wished that your smile was whiter and brighter, teeth whitening might be right for you.

Through professional teeth whitening, we can lighten staining and discoloration caused by various factors, such as:

• The natural aging process
• Poor dental hygiene habits
• Consumption of certain drinks and foods, including tea, wine, coffee, and soda
• Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
• Illness
• Certain medications
• Fluorosis

Our dentist will work with you to determine the right type of treatment and treatment length to achieve the smile aesthetic you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of professional teeth whitening typically last?

The longevity of your whitening results depends largely on your lifestyle and dietary habits. For most patients, a professionally whitened smile stays noticeably brighter for anywhere from six months to two years. Your teeth will naturally remain vulnerable to new stains over time. To maximize the lifespan of your treatment, avoid smoking, minimize dark-colored beverages, and use your custom take-home trays for occasional touch-ups as recommended by your dentist.

Will professional teeth whitening make my teeth permanently sensitive?

No, any sensitivity experienced during or after professional whitening is temporary. Modern professional whitening gels include desensitizing agents like potassium nitrate and fluoride to protect your enamel and minimize discomfort. If you do experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, it typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours after completing your treatment session.

Can I whiten my teeth if I currently have untreated cavities?

It is highly recommended to treat all active tooth decay before starting any whitening regimen. Whitening gels contain potent active ingredients that are perfectly safe on healthy enamel but can cause severe pain and deep nerve irritation if they penetrate an open cavity. A thorough dental exam ensures your mouth is healthy and decay-free before cosmetic treatments begin.
